so bazaar...

there's no better way to describe our experience at the new sls hotel restaurant, the bazaar, than to say that it was magnificently bizarre. they had everything from exploding olives to liquid nitrogen desserts to savory foams that adorned our various plates. it was an adult's gastronomic playground, to say the least, with its decor as funky and as fresh as the food they offered. with the awesome deal we got through dineLA's restaurant week, we were able to taste about half of the menu. 5 people, 4 plates each, you do the math. our senses were pushed to the limits and in the end were more than satisfied. we all agreed that although we were a few pounds heavier and a few dollars shorter, food is definitely luv.

here are some pictures of what we ate that night...
